Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[rekinhavoc]

Listening to VQ podcast. Yikes. Austin just ran down 2016/2017 classes and how 3/4 will never be a factor. Goodness it got worse. AP says most of those guys shouldn't even be playing P5 schools

Sounds like the star ranking system is broke or corrupt.

They did mention that the rating system was wrong on most of the 16/17 guys

Got to finish watching the game this morning. Wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought.

I felt the same after getting home and being able to watch it on tv. The score is what it is, but I felt the game was much closer than the game indicated.

 

[MockingVol]

We have to play Theo or Sham over Abernathy IMO. Seems like a great guy but he’s not an SEC level safety. These next two weeks are going to be critical in getting other guys up to speed

I’ve been saying that Theo looks good at safety since Spring ball. With that said, Warrior also stood out a lot during Spring ball so who knows. Coming into the Fall, I thought our best safety tandem was probably Warrior/ Jackson.

VQ mods are right. Just play the young guys and let them learn.

NSIAP from yesterday


Interesting about Fant being moved back to the RB group, and I wonder whats with Emersons number change again...

Wasn't Fant at RB just with the scout team last week ?

Fant back to RB eh?

Purge that 2017 class.

One thing that stood out this weekend is how quickly many players went back to default techniques. They were executing in camp-- which fueled the optimism-- but during the game, many players reverted to the poor tackling, bad angles and missed assignments that have plagued their careers at UT. When instincts took over, quality of play decreased.

So Austin is probably right about most of the older players. Poor technique and attitudes are deeply ingrained and not easily changed. The new guys are faster, seem highly coachable and have less mental baggage. They're the upside.

****ing loser


What kind of person thinks a video is a good thing to do

Who cares man. It's funny because in the podcast Austin said our RBs that year shouldve been Chandler, Jordan and Hayden.

Lines are just public perception of the teams to get equal money on both sides. I think Kentucky's got a decent shot to beat UF, as do we.

On paper, this is the most talented UK team ever (in terms of recruiting rankings).

I mentioned it yesterday, but they beat a decent MAC team by 15 despite being -4 in turnover margin.

I absolutely love taking UK catching 15 pts in the swamp. That is my stone cold lock of the century, of the week.

Their QBs are awful

I think we'll see more of this as the season goes along.

I agree.

Honestly couldn't even tell you who that is or what position he played. Going to be a purge of some players.

 

[IH8TheHaslams]

Most of Butch's players can't leave fast enough, imo

But so are Florida's

 

[VolGee4]

So many in the FF think FL is in just as bad shape as us...view that game as a toss up. I was looking at the lines this weekend...FL is a two TD favorite vs. KY. I doubt we would be a 14pt fav vs KY. Just sayin.

That’s the line value from a blowout of Charleston Southern versus a 15 point win versus Central Michigan, which was a one point game at half. We would not be a 14 point favorite this week, but it depends on what both teams do going forward.

Technically we need it because we will have more than 85 kids on roster, if not.

 

[LA Vol]

We only lose 10 scholarship SRs-- and two are Chryst and London. Even if several JRs graduate and move on, and a few more declare early, we'll need to clear spots. Lot of dead weight on the roster.

Dear Lord we said the exact same thing about Dooleys players.



How about we just say to let the bad apples get the F out and we keep the good ones instead of paiting an extremely broad brush???
